My Sweet Lord is George Harrison’s first single as a solo artist. And it wasn’t just any single. It was going to the top of the charts all around the world when it was released in 1970 and became the biggest selling single the year after. The idea of making this song came to Harrison after a conversation he had with fellow musicians Billy Preston and Delaney Bramlett. And inspired by his personal beliefs in hinduism and especially the massive gospel hit from 1969 «Oh Happy
Day» by the Edwin Hawkins Singers, he sought to create a song that would bridge the gap between religions. But it didn’t go exactly as he planned.
